Adding more to your rural business

From left, Jason, Lou and David

Jason Keen, David Shaw and Lou Davies lead the +MORE team in the Wairarapa which now has two offices - one in Martinborough and a newly opened office in Masterton. David and Lou are our farming experts in the area, and it is more than just an interest - it’s a part of their lives. David grew up on a sheep & beef farm east of Martinborough, moving back to the Wairarapa 20 years ago, and now still working two days a week on the family farm. Originally from Wellington, Lou met and married Wilba Davies ten years ago, the sixth generation of a dairy farming family in the South Wairarapa. +MORE offer a range of advisory services to their agri clients. From business planning, quarterly coaching, cashflow forecasting, through to structuring, succession planning and more. They cover all the accounting necessities too – that is their baseline of high performance. David and Lou together use their agri expertise to deliver results to their Wairarapa clients. “If you want to grow your business, you have to be forward thinking,” notes David. “It is easy to keep on farming and not have a big plan. But you lose sight of where you are going.” “We don’t just see our clients once a year when their tax returns are signed off,” says Lou. “It is more forward thinking about how the client can improve their business.” Being farmers, Lou and David speak the same language as their farming clients and understand their pressure points. It’s a relationship based on trust and shared farming knowledge, says Lou. David likens the relationship between +MORE and their clients to that of a sports team. “What is a farm or primary sector business? - It is a team. How many top teams don’t have a coach? “We are very much a team around our rural clients and their businesses,” adds Lou.

AEROWORK CRESCO SPREADING FERTILISER.

Book your spring topdressing now

Heading into spring is always a busy time of year for farmers. Juggling the livestock demands of lambing and calving; working smart to match feed demand and supply - not to mention keeping a close eye on the weather, are all just part of the day-to-day on-farm. Not surprisingly, it’s a busy time of year for aerial topdressing, and weather variability is something that Ravensdown Aerowork also pay very close attention to. This is because a change in the weather can have a direct impact on our ability to deliver the much sought-after aerial topdressing services for our farming customers. And while farmers and Aerowork alike can’t control the weather, there are a few ways in which we can work together to take some of the uncertainties out of your aerial fertiliser application:

Be the ‘early bird’

Book your aerial application as soon as you can to ensure that you get your fertiliser on when you need it. Spring is a high demand time for aerial applications, so get ahead of the queue rather than waiting in line. Mark Gerritsen, your local pilot is keen to book in dates that work for you and your farming operation.

Is your airstrip ‘ship-shape?’

Check that your airstrip facilities are in good condition well ahead of your booking. The better your airstrip facilities, the less you will be a ected by the weather, and other potential issues like transport, product availability and storage. Ask about our new IntelliSpread Plus prescription application Aerowork is driving innovation in aerial spreading. Using our advanced automated GPS guided application system, IntelliSpread Plus works at unparalleled speed to put fertiliser where you want it on your farm and avoid unproductive and environmentally sensitive areas. The accuracy of this new technological development is unparalleled in the market and unique to Ravensdown Aerowork. Your local Ravensdown Agri Manager or Aerowork pilot can help to organise a prescription map produced for your property.

Utilise variable rate application

Using the same IntelliSpread technology and prescription map ability Aerowork can also apply fertiliser at di erent rates over your farm to improve fertiliser e ciency even further.

Request proof of placement

Once the job is done, an accurate proof of placement map is available to give you provable peace of mind that the fertiliser was applied where you wanted it, and in the quantities that you needed it.
